Has anyone here built a brick bbq grill?
« on: January 25, 2007, 09:00:40 pm »
I was just wondering if anyone here has taken on that DIY project.  I still have to finish the cabinet, but I was looking around on the web for a good site that explains how to build one.  I couldn't seem to find one that I liked.

Thanks

Rent I Love Lucy.  They build one on there.  Don't wear your wedding ring while building it.

Word of advice, finish one project before even considering another one. Else, you'll end up with a house full of unfinished projects like me. ;D

that's the problem, i'm getting a new house in august (built from the ground up and it's also my first house)
so the lady and i are going from being poor college students with no space to first time homebuyers
i guess i'm just getting caught up in all of the crazyness thinking that i can design my interior stuff, get new furniture and still have time to pop out a grill

i wouldn't worry about the arcade though, it's in a playable state, so it will probably never get finished...

...let's see....i could finish my trim or cut out my bezel........or i could play a round of windjammers..........i'm only so strong of a person

I too went from poor college kid living out of a bag to first-time homeowner a little over a year ago. I assumed I would do EVERYTHING myself. I also got into several hobby projects. It is fun and exciting, but now I just want everything to be done so i can just sit back and enjoy things. Time becomes the most valuable commodity in a hurry once real life sets in.

And me.  The yard too.

Take some advice:  If your arcade is unfinished because it is playable, take the CP out  and put it someplace out of reach.  Don't take it out until the rest of the cab is finished.
